The FBI’s Inside the FBI Podcast
Given that the CIA has a podcast, it should come as no surprise that the FBI has one, too. Unlike the CIA, which is pushing propaganda, the FBI uses its podcast, titled Inside the FBI, to highlight news and cases that it’s investigating. The podcast resembles a true crime podcast, complete with creepy background music and interviews with its agents on the ground.
Its most recent episode gives an overview of Top 10 fugitive Omar Alexander Cardenas, a person who is wanted in connection with the alleged murder of a man in Sylmar, California in 2019. According to the FBI, Cardenas shot the victim in the head with a semi-automatic handgun, killing him.
Inside the FBI has been published consistently since April 2020. Some episodes are more gripping than others—probably because we podcast listeners are so used to true crime. Like other government podcasts, the FBI’s show also features little-known facts about the agency, such as its Honors Internship Program or how it investigates hate crimes.
